Hi All This week on TIPSnet we will finish our discussion on distracted driving and Ham Radio. Last week if you missed TIPS, you missed our longest program ever and this seems to still not be settled -next they'll say you can't operate an HT while walking with a guide dog.. We all agree safety is everything, but when the money side of the law is exposed, (the FINE REVENUE), its sickening. Take a look at the message I sent in last night Thanks to AB1MU, K1QEX & KI4GGH for private comments. Don't get me wrong,I support law enforcement, but I don't personally support bad legislation. We'll also spend time on HR 607 the US House bill that could kill and refarm the 70cm band and what we all can do to help stop this. Hope to chat tonight 73 John West N1IWT TIPSnet Program & Publicity Manager www.tipsnet.org Email: tipsnet@xxxxxxxxxxx Fostering International Friendship Through Amateur Radio © TIPSnet meets every Tuesday 7:30pm to 8:30pm local time (EST) 0030z-0130z on several RF linked repeaters throughout New England, including the *SPARC* system, our RF HUB in West Haven, CT connection is via the 147.505/146.505 repeater with input (-1 Mhz PL 77.0) National and International connections are welcome via the New England Gateway – EchoLink Conference *NEW-ENG2* (node # 9127) and IRLP *New England Reflector* 912, Channel 7 (node # 9127), also the *DODROPIN* Conference server Node # 355800 and *MN_CONF* node #64260.
